I don't really want to consider the possibility ATM. While we've had some wins this year, and seem some potential future stars, I have to say this year has also served up some of our most noteworthy and terrible disappointments!

Really?  Where have you been for 8 years?

I would have said most who knew the list would see it going almost exactly to script.

Does your apparent gift of foretelling come from spilling the entrails of small creatures or during those precious moments when you're changing hands?

No.

It comes from being an objective football lover of many decades and not an emotional wrist slashing moron.

Thanks for asking.

Is that on a personal level, or are you talking about the footy

You are seriously saying that this season has gone "almost exactly to script" as foreseen by you and based on your profound knowledge as "an objective football lover" ????

FMD!!!!

I'd like to see what would happen on this site if we win but lose in all the key statistical areas.

I must be a football genius like the other 80% of Demonland.

I think most hoped we would be 8-12 wins, push some top teams and no thrashings with young players showing signs.  I think most expected us to finish in the grouping outside the 8. 

These losses will stick in the craw of young players like Viney, Hunt, Petracca and Brayshaw.  Yeah we should have won, and I hate losing, but it won't hurt us in the long term.

When Viney is our captain and names like Hunt, Petracca and Brayshaw and in our LG we will get these games going our way.

This is a nice list and there is a culture developing lead by Viney, despite a large hole down back it's not hard to see the possibility of gradual but meaningful and sustainable improvement.

We're giving Gold Coast the win and the lower draft pick by tanking (They have our first pick) ?

 

This is literally the lowest incentive game to ever tank. We're tanking for what? Pick 25 instead of Pick 27?
